AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a heat-dissipating fan fixing device that allows users to assemble heat-dissipating fans on a case without using any tools. The device includes a frame, hooks, and a stopping piece that securely attaches the frame to the case. The device also includes positioning pieces and a buckle base that enable multiple frames to be stacked and assembled into a heat-dissipation structure with a plurality of heat-dissipating fans, saving case area. The number of required heat-dissipating fans can be increased or reduced based on the heat-dissipation efficiency requirements. The technical effects of the invention include simplifying the assembly process, reducing operation time, and saving case area.

Problems solved by technology

According to the above prior art, a user needs to use assembling tools to lock and fix the heat-dissipating fans on the case, which is time-consuming, and quite a lot of case area is occupied by heat-dissipating fans.

Abstract

A heat-dissipating fan fixing device, for accommodating and fixing a fan and mounted on a case is provided, which includes a frame, a plurality of hooks, and a stopping piece. The frame has a first end and a second end being opposite to each other. Between the first end and the second end, an accommodating space through the frame is formed for accommodating and fixing the fan. The hooks are formed on the first end and extend towards a protruding direction. The stopping piece is formed on a side edge of the first end. Thus, when the frame is joined with the case and moves along the protruding direction of the hooks, each hook catches the case, and then, the stopping piece is embedded into the case, so as to stop the frame form sliding along the opposite direction, thereby fixing the frame on the case.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a heat-dissipating fan fixing device, and more particularly, to a fixing base structure, capable of stacking and assembling a plurality of heat-dissipating fans thereon according to the heat dissipation requirements.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]A main board, a CPU chip, and various disk drivers are installed within a computer case, the above units and elements generate a great deal of heat. In order to prevent the heat from negatively affecting the operation of the computer, it is necessary to take measures to dissipate the heat, so generally the design of a heat-dissipating fan is further required.[0005]In the conventional method for assembling a heat-dissipating fan to a computer case, a plurality of screws or other locking elements are used to fix the heat-dissipating fan on the computer case. It may meet the demands for the computer host in which only one to two heat-dissipating fans are re...
